a) true
Stress has mostly been perceived as a negative emotion and one that should be avoided in the interest of good mental and physiological health. But the pioneering work of renowned psychologist Dr. Richard Lazarus has proven this perception to be flawed.
Dr. Lazarus argued for a distinction between eustress, which refers to positive stress, and distress, which implies negative stress.
Eustress occurs in the presence of positive stressors such as acing an exam and getting a promotion. Eustress causes one to feel motivated and improves performance. Distress is caused by negative situations like death of a love one or illnesses, and causes anxiety and depression.
